[RussTCB]

Some people on TikTok decided to "cancel" Metallica, so apparently Metallica fans are calling out Axl in hopes of deflecting.

Agreed. 

From what I can tell, here's how it works:

 

Learn the bare minimum about someone or some thing. 

Have a complete lack of understanding of nuance, personal growth or historical context. 

Attempt to "cancel" someone or some thing based on your own lack of knowledge. 

Call anyone who disagrees with you phobic or "ist" .

Declare yourself an expert.

Sit back and watch the likes and re shares roll in from the comfort of your parents house.

Alternatively: rock stars are frequently not consistently great people, and these tiktok trends aren't going to meaningfully effect anyone.

For sure on both counts.

But it's also 30yrs ago and based entirely off hearsay (the original point against Hetfield). There surely must be something against calling someone a racist off the back of absolutely no evidence.

I mean, it's not hearsay if the person who says they heard it was an eye witness. That is literally the definition of not being hearsay. And even if it were hearsay, who cares? People whining on tiktok about 30 year old accusations aren't going to change anything.

She uses a clip from my 2020 Roberta interview but doesn't credit me. Fun when Metallica fans get mad at me for having her tell her story.

I can't wait for nothing to come from this.

[Stay.Of.Execution]

Fans are a retarded species

Although I share the sentiment that Hetfield is/was a scumbag

like Dave chapelle said: "Twitter Is Not A Real Place", or in this case tiktok.

By the way, they should cancel tiktok itself, their privacy policy is atrocious .

[Bono]

Bunch of "Safe Space" losers, believing cancel culture is a virtuous cause. These weak minded fragile little twats will be, if not already, responsible for the decay of society.

Fuck cancel culture and the idiots following it. As pointed out, it's not even a real place. I'm now going to blast One In A Million at full volume just to piss people off. Probably followed by ABSURD.

Tik Tok is a heaping pile of vile, repugnant, demented human shit masquerading as entertainment.

That is a truly offensive song with utterly reprehensible lyrics that should never be heard ever again…oh and One In A Million is pretty bad too 

[dontdamnmeuyi2015]

Such old old news. Let it go! Metallica has and so has GNR.

Both bands are older and wiser.

People always have to point the finger at Axl Rose. Will this shit ever stop?

Get a damn life you morons who have no idea about GNR.

radicals and racists, dont point your finger at me .d 

 

[appetite4illusions]

Pisses me off. 
 

Axl Rose never pretended to be a perfect person and was always very up front about being tortured. That behavior came out in its own way, but he was never anything but completely sincere about who he was.

I’m a lawyer and in law, we call this the “tu quoque” defense (you too). It means you accuse the other party of the same misconduct they are putting on you. It’s a shitty defense, because it doesn’t exonerate you from anything. It’s the type of thing you use when you can’t wash the blood off your hands.
